U.S. Border Patrol agents apprehended a Guatemalan national who had been convicted in 2001 for manslaughter in Jefferson County for "re-entry after deportation" near the Texas-Mexico border.

Agents from Carrizo Springs station patrolling near the border arrested Orlando Huelches-Lopez, 35, among a group of 16 undocumented immigrants.

During processing, agents discovered Huelches-Lopez's record, which included a 15-year prison term. Huelches-Lopez was deported to Guatemala on Jan. 22, 2014, on completion of his sentence, the Border Patrol said in a prepared statement.

Huelches-Lopez will be charged with unlawful re-entry and will again be deported after criminal proceedings against him are concluded.

Huelches-Lopez was convicted of manslaughter in the Sept. 25, 1999, stabbing death of Junior Yalibut Pacay.

According to police reports, Huelches-Lopez and 21-year-old Pacay fought in the 800 block of Oakland Street the night of the incident. Witnesses told police that Huelches-Lopez stabbed Pacay in the chest.
